LAYNIE - Shih Tzu and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Santa Monica, California

MEET LAYNIE.... A precocious little miss who loves everybody and everything! A b/w, 15 lb, 2-3 yr old Shih Tzu terrier — Laynie came from the Lancaster shelter with a nasty UTI and kennel cough. Despite all that, she was happy and active, but had no appetite. Now, we can’t believe she is the same dog!

It only took her about a week to start showing her personality, which — in addition to being very silly — is so affectionate it might catch you off guard! Hope you don’t mind her jumping up on you to let you know she wants your love! We have never seen a dog who loved driving in the car more than Laynie! Walk past the car with the door open and next thing you know, she’s behind the wheel ready to go!! She is a adorable character who will keep you smiling from ear to ear!

On walks, Princess Laynie may announce to the other dogs that they are in her presence! She usually welcomes them, but she is really more interested in getting humans' attention.

Ideal home for this sweetie would be with or without kids, with or without another dog, but definitely not without a lot of attention and love. Does that sound like your home?
